SO HOW'D IT GO?
Fantastic! I was in search of a simple stir fry sauce that didn't require a trip to the grocery store.
Everything was easily at hand, and I couldn't have been more happy with my results.
I eyeballed the measurements and added broccoli, green and red bell peppers, and a chili pepper. I fried tofu beforehand and threw it in. So good!
Bottom line...if you're crazy about peanut butter, this sauce rocks.
This is an excellent, easy recipe. I have almost no cooking skills but managed to make this quickly and easily and will definitely do it again.
I suggest a few modifications:
1. If you're using tofu, shallow-fry it beforehand.
2. Lightly saute the garlic separately before you add it to the general mix.
3. I used 3 tablespoons of peanut butter and 6 tablespoons of tamari, as the recipe called for. While this was tasty, I think it might be too salty for some people. I recommend either using 4 tablespoons of peanut butter, or reducing the tamari amount to 4 or 5 tablespoons.
